Calling All Reenactors

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

It really wouldn't be right to exclude a good '45 "living history" group like Sir William's from the reenactor venue. Most such groups are quite serious in terms of authenticity, and hardly "RennFaire-ish."
They may not be "uniformed" per-se, but their historic counterparts were indeed organized into structured clan regiments (with a complete chain of command from the Colonel on down), or regional formations such as the Atholl Brigade. Far from being disorganized mobs, clan regiments of the '45 attained a fair degree of training and discipline....

All of which you have written is, of course, true.

And, as I've previously stated, no one is being excluded from the games.

The problem that arises is how to level the playing field when judging a group of civilians and a group of soldiers, both from the mid-18th century. As a matter of fact I sent Sir William a PM a few days ago and asked him to give me a call to discuss how we can do this. As soon as I hear from him I'm sure something can be worked out.

If anyone would like to make specific (or general) suggestions about reenactors taking part in the Greenville Scottish Games, send me an email and I will do my best to see to it we come up with an event that everyone will enjoy.
